Ebay 120 eye shadow palette-Swatches-Review

Hello beauties! Today I'm going to show you my 120 eye shadow palette I bought from ebay.
I've made swatches for all 120 colors since I haven't found any blog posts showing all of them.
Not only do I want to tell you what I think of them, but something really important I've discovered as well, that many of you probably don't know.
The well known Bh cosmetics , Coastal Scents or Fraulein 38 palettes (not only the 120 eye shadow ones but all of them!) are exactly the same palettes as the ones from Ebay that have no brand on them.
They are exactly the same products, they're all made in China, come in the same packaging and have exactly the same content and ingredients! What those companies actually do is take the no brand palettes, put their logo on the palettes and sell them in different prices which are also much higher than the ones from ebay.
Well, it's a big issue to discuss, but I'm going to insert a really helpful video for you guys to see what exactly I mean.Watch the video here!
It really frustrates me the fact that so well-known companies claim those palettes as their own product and sell it 2,3,5 times more expensive than the no-brand ones which have no difference at all!
I know that many of you would probably not trust the ebay ones because they have no brand on them and they think Coastal Scents, BH, Fraulein 38 have to be good since they're well known companies, but that's a lie. I bought my palette for 8 or 9 euros including shipping and I am more than happy with it! Why should I have payed between 20 and 50 euros for exactly the same thing?
If you search the internet and see comparisons between all those brands' palettes you'll see I'm right, but the video I posted above is enough on its own I guess.
____________________________________________________Καλησπέρα ομορφιές! Σήμερα θα σας δείξω την παλέτα 120 σκιών από ebay. Έκανα swatches και για τα 120 χρώματα μιας και δεν έχω βρει άλλο post που να τα δείχνει όλα. Δε θέλω απλά να σας πω τη γνώμη μου αλλά και κάτι πολύ σημαντικό που ανακάλυψα όταν έκανα την ιντερνετική μου έρευνα πριν την αγοράσω. Οι σχετικά γνωστές Bh cosmetics, Coastal Scents, Fraulein 38 που έχουν τέτοιες παλέτες και μάλιστα σε πολύ υψηλότερες τιμές, πουλάνε τις ίδιες ακριβώς παλέτες! Είναι όλες κινέζικες, με ολόιδια συσκευασία, περιεχόμενο και συστατικά. Προφανώς οι εταιρείες αυτές παίρνουν τις παλέτες από Κίνα, απλά τυπώνουν το λογότυπο τους πάνω και τις πλασάρουν ως δικές τους! Γιατί να πληρώσετε λοιπόν 20,30 ή και 50 ευρώ ενώ μπορείτε να βρείτε ακριβώς το ίδιο προϊόν στο ebay με λιγότερο από 10? Εγώ την πλήρωσα γύρω στα 8-9 μαζί με μεταφορικά και έμεινα απόλυτα ευχαριστημένη! Μπορείτε να δείτε και το εξής βιντεάκι που εξηγεί με τεκμήρια ότι όλες αυτές οι παλέτες είναι το ίδιο ακριβώς εδώ!

Now, let's move to some pictures of how the palette looks..

Ας δούμε τώρα πως είναι η παλέτα..

Gorgeous colors , aren't they?

Now, let's see swatches of all of them.. Each picture has all 10 colors of each row

As you can see most of them are really pigmented. The packaging is really nice , hand and stable, I've traveled twice with it and none of the eye shadows were ruined. When you open the palette you see the first layer and you can place it on the left and have both layers in front of you. It's really convenient and I love it. Not all the shades have the same finish. You have a wide selection of matte, satin and shimmery eye shadows. Some of them crumble and you have to be really careful when picking them up with a brush, but that's not really a problem for me since they are so cheap and of good quality. They are soft, can be easily applied, blend well and last really well ,too if primer is applied underneath. Αnother thing I noticed is that they don't have that annoying smell many cheap eye shadows have. You can create any look with this palette and I highly recommend it!

In general I think it's a really good product for that price and it can gets tons of uses, so I think you should all have it! I'll probably get more palettes like this one in other colors, with blushes, etc :)
